chairs, pictures, albums, library,
and all such that surrounded her
in life, we felt that home had been
devastated during our absence.
But those whom we had come to
see-who appreciated Jour loss in
the death of our sainted mother,
with loving eyes, hands and hearts,
We'd in making our stay agreeable,
and in painting as the relief OF the
funeral scene, the confidence with
which she left this shore to meet
upon the other, Him, whose prom
ises she always contided in, and
theassurance they felt and which
should fill our soul, that she now
basked in the presence of Him re-
vealed, whom unseen, she so de-
lighted to worship-as also that
we now had an advocate close to
the ear OF the eternal King who
would one day smile at our re-
union ,above the clouds, where
rain never tails and the sun never
sets. We beg pardon of our read
ers for thus inficting upon them
our personal griets, but in the .lso
doing we experience a measure of
relief, as our readers are to US as
members of our family who share
alike our Joys and sorrows.
To morrow, all of this city seem
to be going to Chicago, including
members of my family, SO rather
than be left alone, we will 60 too.
The apparent cause is a desire to
see the President, but the actual
one is to take advantage of the
cheap rates offered to visit the
Garden City. Cleveland was not,
and is not, our cholce-but he is
as much our President rs sny-
body's, and everything he does
which sets at defiance thonor and
patriotism puts us TO shame as
much as any other well wisher OF
the Republic which his heaviness
was constitutionally but enigmatI-
cally called upon to preside over.
For a century past, old fool phil
osophers have argued that there
is no such thing as " luck" but
Cleveland attaining to the Presi-
dency has slleIced the last one of
them. Unless he meets an igno
bic death, his name will ever live
as u synonym of "luck."
We wllllreturn here from Chi
cago, writeEyou another letter and
after brief stay, turn our face to-
ward our western home and duty.

Our trip from Socorro hither,
was uneventful, save that the
transportation facilities of the X.

The Chicago g. Rock Island.

This is what the Denver Re
publican has to say about it In
cnnnection with the Chicago &
Rock Islands lease of a portion OF
the Denver & Fort Worth line,
reported in this city on Saturday,
there comes the additional asser-
ton through a Denver & Rio
Grande source that the Rock Is

and that trains are expected to be
running to that place by Christ,

construction is to be pushed as rap.
idly as possible to a point in the
Taos valley where a branch will
diverge to the Pacific coast and an
other be pushed on to Santa Fe,
and when completed to that point
it will be pushed on down the Rio
Grande valley to Albuquerque,
thence south to Ell Paso. The line
from Trinidad was located by En-
gineer Falkner.

The committee enlarged its scope by adding
not less than three features OF No. SO, and it

All this was of no avail, however, as H B., No.

ton of the committee to the fact that No. Sc had

Mr.. Journal. your statement concerning Ii Is

still persisted in trying to establish your as
serfion as true; II not IN action, in sentiment,
thus insinuating that the order was
striving TO conceal, and that the TeS0-

The State Assembly told you, Mr.. Journal, that

false in every particular.

Catarrhal Dangers.

machinery of smell. taste and hearing; to feel
that the system does not through its veins and

AIAY COUNTY DEMOCRAT.
Postmaster Gray, of Portland, Talks Pc
itics and Business.

Postmaster Gray, of Portland, Talks Pol
itics and Business.
MIR. B. s. Gray, postmaster at Portland,
and one of the active workers in jaw
County in behalf of the Democracy, has
been in the city on brief visit.
Ten years ago." remarked Mr.. Gray,
"Jay County was pointed out as a back
woods region. 1t now has 200 miles OF free
pike, improved drainage and, having natur-
ally splendid soil, has taken a foremost
rank among the agricultural counties of
the State. Its citizens are generally pros
porous; real estate has rapidly advanced,
though it is not held at exorbisant figures;
there is steady increase in
population and, strange to say,
good crops, which the Republican party
formerly claimed the credit of bringing
on, grow in unusual abundance under a
Democratic county, State and national
administration.
1.-The immense yield of natural gas within
the borders of Jay has revolutiOnized the
mode of living. A load OF firewood or coal
is now rare sight on the streets of Port
land. Gas is in use by nearly everyone for
light and fuel. Portland is improving.
Tue erection of six brick business rooms
has begun, and several new manufactures
are coming.
1.-THE political outlook in Jay County
from a Democratic standpoint Is highly
encouraging. The hullabsloo over the pro-
posed return of the rebel flags is regarded as
bit of cheap sensationslism. The fact that
the same recommendation was made by
the Republican Acknowledgement Drum
during Arthur's administration, and
approved by Secretary Lincoln, rohs the
affair of the partisan coloring the Repub-
lican press endeavors TO give it. The
choice of Jay County Democrats for the
presidential race next year is about a
stand-off between Cleveland and Hill. No
fault is found with Cleveland, beyond a
feeling that he ought to turn Republican
officeholders out little faster. Blaine is
the favorite with Republicans, although
Sherman has many admirers. Republicans
acknowledge the weak fight they made in
the Legislature last winter, and freely ex-
press the opinion that Senator TGrpie will
be and ought 10 be seated as United States
Senator from Indiana"
After Mr.. Grays departure a gentleman
well acquainted with the politics of the
Eleventh Congressional District assured
the Sentinel reporter that the Democracy
of Jay County would present Mr.. Gray s
name to the next Democratic Congressional
Convention in that district, and that he
would, If nominated, make an able can.

LONDON, June 25.-The Home Secretary
has received the following Letter from the
Queen: 81 am anxious to express to my
people my warm thanks for the kind,
more than kind, reception / met with in
going to and returning from Westminster
Abbey, with ell my children and grand
children. The enthusiastic reception
met with then, as well as on ali these
eventful days in London, and also at
Windsor on the occasion of the Jubilee
has touched me most deeply. 1t has shown
that the labor and anxiety of fifty long
yesrs, twenty-five of which was spent
in untroubled happiness, shared and
cheered by my beloved husband,
and while an equal number were full
of Sorrows and trials borne without hiss he'll
tsripg arm and wise help has been appre-
ciated By my people. This feeling and
sense of duty toward my dear country
aud my subjects, who are so inseparab y
bound up with my life, will encourage
me in my task, often a very difficult and
arduous one, during the remainder Of my
life. The wonderful order preserved on
this occasion, and good behavior OF the
enormous multitude assembled merit my
highest admiration. That God may pro-
tect and abundantly bless my country is
my ieryent prayer"

Fall Throughout the United states.

Daily Average Temperature and Rain
Fall Throughout the United states.
WASHINGTON, June 26.-The weather
crop bulletin issued to-day by the signal
service for the week ending June %, 1887,
is as follows
Tempersture-Duriug the week ending
June %, 1887. the weather has been slightly
cooler than the average for the week in all
agricultural districts east OF the Rocky
Mountains, while it has been warmer than
usual on the Pacific coast. In the States
of the Upper Mississippi and Missouri VAL
leys and the Upper Lake Region the. daily
average temperature ranged from i've
to seven degrees above the normal,
while on the Atlantic coast south of New
England and in the cotton and tobacco
regions the temperature differed but
slightly from the normal. In Northern
California, Oregon and Washington Terri
tory the average daily excess of tempera.
ture for the week ranged from four to ten
degrees. The excess of temperature for the
season, from January 1 to June %, 1887,
amounting to daily average of from one
to two degrees, continues over the cotton
region, the Central Mississippi Valley and
thence westward to the Rocky Mountains,
while in all other agricultural districts,
except in isolated stations, the average
daily temperature for the season differs
less than one degree from the normal.
Rain-fali-During the week the rainfall
has been in excess in all States on the At
lantic coast, along the immediate East Gulf
coast and in Western Missouri and Eastern
Kansas, the heaviest raIn.fa occurring
along the middle Atlantic coast. In the
Mississippi, Ohio and Missouri Valleys
there was less rain than usual, the deticlen-
cy amounting to about an inch In the
States of the Mississippi Valley. The large
seasonal deficiency of rainfall, exceeding
ten inches continues over the cotton re-
gion, and seasonal deficiency, exceeding
five inches, exists in Illinois, Wisconsin
and Iowa. In all other sections the rain
fall for the season differs slightly from the
normal.
General Remarks.-The weather during
the week has been generally favorable for
the principal crops. Rains in the South
Atlantic States doubtless improved the con-
dition of the staple crops in that region.
More rain is needed in the cotton region,
and indications this morning are that rain
will occur in the Lower Mississippi and
Ohio valleys by Monday afternoon. The
weather has been favorable for harvesting
in the wheat regions, there having been an
excess of sunshine and very little rain. In
the corn region the weather has been gen.
orally favorable, although in some locali-
ties more rain is needed, and the cool
weather of the past week must have slightly
retarded the growth OF the corn crop. In
New England, where hay1ng is now in
progress, the conditions have been espe-
cially favorable to the hay crop. All crops
in this section and the Middle Atlantic
States have been improved by the rains, al
though in the northern portions of New
England and New York there has been less
than the usual amount OF sunshine, at
tended by cool weather
